qmake & make (Console Compilation)

[Binary01]

Hi forum,

Is there a way to know if the compilation with line command is OK or NOT unless parsing the output ??

You'll need to check what that "line" command of yours does.

Standard tools like make, jom, ninja, report success/failure via return codes, maybe your "line" command does as well.

I have an idea, but not sure if always true

After each successful compilation, we get (.exe, .dll or .so) ... check in your directory if the (.exe,.dll or .so) exists or not

You can use exists() method : http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qfile.html#exists-2

@anda_skoa what dou you think ??

Thanks for your answers,

@RegMe : the idea seems good, I have to distinguish between Windows, Unix and Mac extension
Any Idea

Hmm, that would require that the build target is removed before each run.

But yes, if the tool in question is so broken that it doesn't distinguish between success and error, this could be a way to do it.

There must be some misunderstanding here, I've never seen a build process where the make variant or compilers don't return 0 on success and non-zero on warning or error. Are you saying that your command line build process doesn't follow this long standing convention?
